This sword is not quite what it seems. It is actually a slightly smaller variant of the British 1853 that was made for one of the northern Indian states. The hilt is stamped N.S BDA which I think stands for Baroda or Baruda¸ the second largest independent Indian kingdom under the British Raj after Hyderabad. The makers name Rodwell & Co London stamped on the ricasso. This company were a railway contractor and had a bulk contract to provide swords in the 1890s.

Steel mounted leather scabbard shows major traces of wear but no parts are missing. The scabbard is floppy and is reinforced with modern tape and splints.
